beautiful homes, schools and church
'a. I am sure I voice the sentiment, of
this convention when I say we are
most happy to be here.
Mrs. Clara Waterhouse, AJ. spoke
on "Our Educational Fund." Her
speech was as follows:
THK KDUCATIONAL FUND
Paper read by Mrs. Clara Watter-
house, Fremont:
Two score and seven years have
passed away since our soven elder
sisters met in the old music room of
the chapel of Iowa Wesleyan Univer
sity on that memorable day In Janu
ary, 1869, and formed the neulens of
our beloved sisterhood.
The time was ripe for such an or
ganization. It was at the beginning
of a new era in the history of woman
kind; and her ability along various
lines was Just beginning to be recog
nized. The original seven were girls who
possessed the highest Ideals regard
ing menial, moral and spiritual life,
and as the time for separation drew
near, after three or four years of
close association In college life, they
earnestly desired "something" to
strengthen this bond of love and
friendship so Its growth might con
tinue through the years after college
days were over. As in the begin
ning of all great and worthy move
ments earnest desire for better
things meets with the approval of
the Highest Power and unseen In
fluences directed the original seven
in the organization of an order, re
sembllng, perhaps, the college soror
ity, but broader in Its outlook.
Let us consider for a moment Act
11, Sec. 1, of our constitution. Nearly
a half century has passed since what
has Just been read was made a part
of our constitution. We P. E. O.'s
are ever striving to hold ua the stand
ards and we feel that God has been
pleased with our efforts and has seen
fit to bless us and give to us the In
crease.
From the little band of seven strlv
tng for the ideal womanhood we
have Increased to over 550 bands or
chapters with a total enrollment of
approximately 26.000 and a member
ship in 1915 of 20,102.
We P. E. O.'s here assembled in
the Twenty-Seventh Annual conven
tion of Nebraska Grand Chapter are
grateful for the share Nebraska has
in the structure which has been ris
ins year after year over our wonder
ful P. E. O. foundation laid long
years ago by those who builded far
belter than they knew.
Not until I became president of
chapter A. J. and read "The History
of the P. E. O. Sisterhood" which is
in the president's box, did I learn
that our own dear Miss Ida Johnson
of Chapter K was the originator of
"The Stor Ceremony" in 1897.
Coming Into the Sisterhood sever
al years after its adoption I had al
ways supposed it had belonged to the
inltatory service from the flrst. Who
cau now think of P. E. O. without the
part Miss Johnson added all honor
to Miss Johnson. Then, again, our
supreme officers have been a never
ending source of Joy and inspiration
to us and also to the sisterhood in
a -general. Mrs. Haperruan, Mrs. Peter
son and Mrs. Drake.
During the supreme convention o
19 53 held in Lincoln, i t was decide
to arrange for P. E. O. day at St
Louis during the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition. June 18, 1904, was the
date decided upon. After all bills
were paid it was found that $660
was left from the amount collected
to defray the expenses of the day.
The following year when the su
preme convention met in Thurston i
was suggested that this sum be made
the nucleus for a P. E. O. memorial
fund, and the amount increased to
$800 by Supreme was pet aside for
this purpose.
At the convention in Brookneld in
1907 the fund was reported to have
increased to $2,000 neveral states
presented plans and suggestions re
garding the use of this fund.
To our own state, Nebraska, (thru
-fMrs. Parmlee) belongs the credit of
suggesting that the fund be used for
education purposes. Some one in
speaking of this has aaid, "The plan
finally adopted is so distinctly in line
with the objects and aims of our so
ciety that the only wonder Is that it
was not undertaken long ago." An
educational committee was appointed
at once with Mrs. Parmlee as chair
man, and in May of the following
year. 1908, the first loan was made.
At the age of 39 years, or In her
40th year, the P. E. O. sisterhood be
gan the college education of girls.
In a recent communication from
Mrs. Townsend we are Informed that
our $660 had grown until It now
amounts to $40,000, and our list of
girls has increased to 191, and of
these 191, 44 have repaid their en
tire loans and many have made par
tial payments.
The rules adopted some years ago
are still in force. To be eligible to
a loan one must be at least 18 years
of age and have a high school educa
tion or its equivalent and deBire the
future education with a view to self
support. For one year a maximum
of $350 may be loaned; for two years
or more, $500. Time for repayment
Is limited to five years. The aver
age sum loaned Is $320, the largest
$500. the smallest $50. One loss by
death caused the cancellation of a
$225 note on account of the hardship
It would bring to the mother.
Dnr list includes girls from 19
states, from California and Washing
ton, where the broad Pacific rolls, to
New York and South Carolina, where
the Atlantic lashes the shore. A
larPA nronortlon of our girls are
touchers or are preparing to teach,
We have high school teachers, col
Iaita nrofessors. domestic science and
music musicians .nurses, librarians,
doctors of osteopatny, i. w. secre
farina, an author, an Illustrator, f
Chautauqua worker, an elocutionist,
miRRionarv and a chemist.
About one half are P. E. O.'s. some
ai daughters of P. E. O.'s. but the
ous chapters in amounts from $2.50
to $76. Our total membership for
the year was 1719.
It was decided, at the convention
last year, that we call our Education
al fund this year the llaperman
Parmlee Memorial fund and strive to
give one dollar per member to this
fund. The amount given during the
year amounts to $1,022.05 and we
have not reached the goal, but we
are striving and we know that good
will come from our efforts.
To those outside our sisterhood, I
am sure P. E. O. stands for more
than it did some years ago. For to
them It means that we are strong to
Push education on."
Exemplification by N. U. V. (Ml leers
Exemplification was by N. U. V. of
ficers, under the direction of Mrs.
Nora Killian. organizer. Miss Julia ,
Frankle of Alliance was the candi

Mrs. Killlau's Paper
After Mrs. Nora Killian organiz
er, gave her report on Becret work
she gave this little paper on Nebras
ka: We have heard the slogan "See
America FirBt", but the state organ
izer can truthfully change this to
"See Nebraska First.", and I now
have a greater conception of the
wealth and vastuess of our beloved
state than I ever had before.
From the high tree-crowned bluffs
overhanging the Missouri river, In
the southeast, to the rolling plains
of the Republican, rich In agricul
ture, the sand formations at Sidney
and Alliance, and the great Tine
Ridge of the northwest, then down
to the plains of central Nebraska, all
make a panorama that few people of
our state realize we possess.
Dinner wr.s served Wednesday
evening by the lacics of the Baptist
church intthe basement of the Epis
copal church, which was beautifully
dec rated with flowers and bunting,
119 ladies were served at the dinner.

ings for today and during the bal
